Today I Fucked Up... (She/Her)

I like to rant. I do research #OpenSource #OpenScience

[Kareem Carr, Ph.D. @kareem_carr]

AIs are frustrating because they invert the normal dynamic of using a computer, where the human is sloppy and the computer is exact. With AI, the computer is the one always making goofy mistakes, and it's up to the we the humans to catch them.

🚨 New forensic findings have just been released in the death of Suchir Balaji — a whistleblower against OpenAI.

Police ruled it a suicide.

But the evidence just uncovered tells a very different story: drugging, a possible second bullet, and a botched autopsy. 🧵1/

The Amish have rates of autism comparable to that of the general population.

Sorry for exploding your theory there.

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Completely incorrect

Vaccines are not "all or nothing"

A vaccine that changes a deadly infection to a mild infection is a great vaccine!

Not a difficult concept

Dictators in History:

- Hitler – “The good of the state stands above the law.”
- Mussolini – “Everything within the state, nothing outside the state, nothing against the state.”
- Napoleon Bonaparte – “I am the revolution.”
- Francisco Franco – “I am responsible only to God and to history.”

Trump:
"He who saves his country does not violate any law"

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Enormous lies here from your new HHS Secretary

The HPV vaccine (Gardasil) is safe, effective, and is on the way to ELIMINATING cervical cancer!

RFK Jr is an anti vaccine fanatic who would rather your daughter got cervical cancer than a vaccine

Horrible, horrible man.

How do antivaxxers explain why all the infected kids are unvaccinated

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Rates of of autism are the same in unvaccinated kids as in vaccinated kids.

So vaccines aren't the cause.

There.

I've saved RFK Jr a lot of time and effort.

1/ After residency at Mass General Hospital, I reported to Atlanta to meet my fellow CDC Epidemic Intelligence Service Officers.

I have never felt so intimidated by my peers

The best and the brightest, they were star clinicians, had served in disaster zones; MD/PhDs and MSF.

I don’t want to connect my coffee machine to the wifi network. I don’t want to share the file with OneDrive. I don’t want to download an app to check my car’s fluid levels. I don’t want to scan a QR code to view the restaurant menu. I don’t want to let Google know my location before showing me the search results. I don’t want to include a Teams link on the calendar invite. I don’t want to pay 50 different monthly subscription fees for all my software. I don’t want to upgrade to TurboTax platinum plus audit protection. I don’t want to install the Webex plugin to join the meeting. I don’t want to share my car’s braking data with the actuaries at State Farm. I don’t want to text with your AI chatbot. I don’t want to download the Instagram app to look at your picture. I don’t want to type in my email address to view the content on your company’s website. I don’t want text messages with promo codes. I don’t want to leave your company a five-star Google review in exchange for the chance to win a $20 Starbucks gift card. I don’t want to join your exclusive community in the metaverse. I don’t want AI to help me write my comments on LinkedIn. I don’t even want to be on LinkedIn in the first place.

I just want to pay for a product one time (and only one time), know that it’s going to work flawlessly, press 0 to speak to an operator if I need help, and otherwise be left alone and treated with some small measure of human dignity, if that’s not too much to ask anymore.

who are you to judge how an oppressed people fight for their liberation?

This is like AlphaFold, but for protein localisation rather than folding

It's a deep learning model that predicts a protein's subcellular compartment based on its amino acid sequence alone:

Meta illegaly downloaded 80+ terabytes of books from LibGen, Anna's Archive, and Z-library to train their AI models.

In 2010, Aaron Swartz downloaded only 70 GBs of articles from JSTOR (0.0875% of Meta). Faced $1 million in fine and 35 years in jail. Took his own life in 2013.

1) Since there is a lot of confusion about the reduction of the overhead rate on NIH grants to 15% (see here: https://t.co/K8dtrCzDnj) I'll do a little tweetorial (or X-torial?) about it.

According to a senior CDC official, some of the pages that were removed on Friday have been reinstated due to backlash from the scientific community and the public. Keep speaking up, it matters!
